For me Monday: letting go of too many hats

Have you ever read the book Caps for sale?  It was a favorite of mine when I was a kid and I still read it to my kids. 

If you aren't familiar with it the story is about a cap salesman who walks around town with all of his hats on top of his head, selling his wares. After a busy day of sales he falls asleep under a tree.  While he is sleeping a band of monkeys steal all but his own personal cap.  He yells, stomps up and down to try to get the monkeys to return the caps.  Finally in frustration he throws his cap onto the ground.  The monkeys do the same thing.  And he gets his caps back.

The story is so how I've been feeling lately. I've been wearing too many hats. So often I fight and struggle when really I should just let go. 

Do you ever feel that way?  Letting go is sometime the hardest thing to do, but often the right choice.  I've been working lately at letting go of things that aren't working in my life and business.

Is there something you need to let go of?  What's holding you back from letting go?

This seems to have been my life the past couple of years. Right now, I"m going through my studio purging. And even though I look at go, "Oh my gosh, this is so cool!".. if it isn't in line with the type of work I am currently doing, I'm letting it go. The releasing is freeing... and I need more freedom to do and be what I'm really meant to be and do!

I envy your style, the idea that your post is a tiny bit unusual makes it so interesting, I am fed up of seeing the same stuff all of the time.
